"What an obstinate train conductor" said the little pumpkin. She was confounded as to his rudeness. He had not shown much deference. Little pumpkin began to wonder if she should apprise the company of his behavior. She is naturally taciturn but might make an exception for this. On her long train ride she considered how to phrase her denunciation of the conductor. She didn't want it to be specious.
The train company sent her a letter of approbation after she complained. She fully expected her comment to be slighted. Little pumpkin had been told that complaints were accepted with stolid responsive. She was quite displeased that the companies sanctions against the conductor were less than prodigious.
